Q. $CaCO _3$ is decomposed by $HCl$ (density $1.825\, g / cc$ )
$CaCO _3+2 HCl \rightarrow CaCl _2+ H _2 O + CO _2$
Volume of $HCl$ required to decompose $10 \,g$ of $50 \%$ pure $CaCO _3$ is

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Solution:

$(50\%$ pure) $5\, g \frac{7.3}{2} g \, HCl$
$\frac{\text { mass }}{\text { volume }}=$ density
$\therefore$ Volume of $HCl =\frac{\text { mass of } HCl }{\text { density of } HCl }=\frac{7.3}{2 \times 1.825}$
$=2 \, mL$
